    I'm interested to see what offensive sets we run throughout the game.

    Yeah I think there are those who go into the Rockets Twitter echo chamber and just leave reality. They're either going to have a rough return to the real world or will double-down and claim a vast anti-Rockets conspiracy.

    All I'm watching for this year is to see slow progression in each individual player. Smarter decision making, more versatility, better chemistry, etc. Not planning on seeing many Ws. The defense is non existent.

    I think most casuals on Twitter are hoping for something more than what they're going to get, but most real fans know this season more than likely won't be a good one. The real #RocketsTwitter is a more moderate crowd with some solid takes that are grounded in reality. When I want to see Basketball Nobel Laureates, I come here. lol. But at least if it's a sucky season, these threads will be quieter with fewer "single-season solutions to rid you of all your ills". :D

    Growth means growing pains. I hope to see someone new that makes a difference. Maybe some coaching will start to show over the previous games.

    Rockets will be in for a rude welcome for our 4 first round picks.It will take till mid season before tbey start to click.It will take a small miracle to get 10 seed and into the playoff round. This game Rockets lose 115 to 105.

    Two things

    This is a battle for Banchero. The loser has a better chance at the number one pick because we know the Timberwolves and us will probably be the two worst teams in the league


    Number two I bet there is a lot of fire silas threads after the game
